Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 298 Rather than searching for Indra...

"Uchiha Kakuzoku, what are you doing here now?"

After being moved, Akaishi also scrutinized the Black Zetsu in front of him.

after all----

Akaishi hasn't forgotten the important matter!

The reason I'm here is because I suspect Madara Uchiha is here, and coincidentally, Black Zetsu has appeared at this moment, and he seems to have a strong connection to the Uchiha clan.

This is probably not a coincidence.

"That's a long story—" Black Zetsu also became a little nervous at this point.

Justifying his identity seems to be going quite smoothly, but—afterwards, Black Zetsu must also justify what he's about to do, so that Uchiha Akashi won't at least stop him, or even—ideally—be used by him!

"You can speak slowly," Akaishi said, staring at him, clearly not wanting him to gloss over the issue.

"Lord Indra————"

Before Black Zetsu could speak, Red Stone interrupted, "You should call him Father."

Akaishi's tone was kind and confident, as if he were giving this family son a great deal of face.

Black Zetsu: !!!

For my mother's sake—I will endure it!

"Because Father wants to set things right and rebuild the Ninja Sect, but my strength is far from enough, so I think—the first thing to do is to rescue Father." Black Zetsu's words did have some sincerity, but his "target" was completely wrong.

"Ancestor Indra is still alive?" Akashi asked in surprise. After all, even the Sage of Six Paths was dead, only his chakra remnants remained.

"Father's chakra has reached the point of immortality. As long as Father's body is freed from the seal, he will definitely be resurrected. Father was sealed in the Divine Tree back then—" Black Zetsu said with certainty.

"The Divine Tree? What exactly is that?" Akashi asked curiously.

Akaishi vaguely knew that this likely referred to the "source of materials for the Uchiha fan," and both the King of Hell and the old man had indeed been vague about the "Divine Tree," suggesting it was something very important.

"The Divine Tree is the essence of heaven and earth. Before its birth, there was no chakra in the world. It can be said that it is the true ancestor of chakra!" Black Zetsu's words were still half true and half false, and he took the opportunity to stomp on that bastard Hagoromo's foot.

After all, in the current mainstream legends of the ninja world, the "Sage of Six Paths" is the progenitor of chakra.

Of course, the phrase "essence of heaven and earth" is clearly a euphemism used by Black Zetsu.

While it can't be said that it isn't, in essence, the Divine Tree was brought from "outside" by the Otsutsuki clan, plundering the essence of heaven and earth to grow and generate chakra.

It's just that Black Zetsu made it sound like they were born of nature.

Seeing Akaishi's look of realization, Black Zetsu continued, "That old man also absorbed the power of the Divine Tree, which is why he possessed the power of all things and awakened the Rinnegan—the Rinnegan and the power of the Divine Tree are actually one!"

Akaishi nodded knowingly upon hearing this.

"Back then, because of—"

Seeing that Akashi was looking at him sincerely, Black Zetsu had no choice but to change his words, saying, "Back then, Father was much stronger than that Ashura, but because the old man was biased, Ashura possessed a portion of the Divine Tree's power, which in turn sealed Father away. Therefore, to rescue Father, we must first find the Divine Tree!"

"Then...where exactly is the Divine Tree?" Akashi asked in confusion. It seemed that the location of the Divine Tree was not fixed.

"Alas, before his death, the old man knew he had chosen the wrong person. Although he was embarrassed to admit it, he divided the power of the Divine Tree into nine parts, which are now the nine tailed beasts, thus weakening Ashura's power."

"As for the body of the Divine Tree, it was sealed on the moon by the old man to prevent Ashura from harming—Father!" Black Zetsu said quite reasonably.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi slowly nodded—"Yes, the old man knows he's wrong but won't admit it, and he even thinks that by making his eldest son suffer, he can prevent his brothers from continuing to fight. This is—perfectly reasonable!"

"Alas—the brothers are at odds, and the old man is utterly immoral!" Akaishi concluded.

Black Zetsu: ————

Seeing that Akashi had come this far, Black Zetsu had already believed and accepted it, and his heart was half at ease.

They're just a bunch of Uchiha, so easily fooled for a thousand years!

"And then?" Akaishi pressed.

"Then—what we need to do is restore the Divine Tree first, and then release Father." Black Zetsu subtly replaced his own mission with "what we need to do."

Black Zetsu immediately noticed that Red Stone frowned slightly, but did not interrupt him, so he continued to elaborate.

"The Divine Tree is on the moon, along with the seal of that feathered robe. To retrieve the Divine Tree's body, we can only use the connection between the Rinnegan and the Divine Tree. Once the Rinnegan matures, we can summon the Divine Tree's body back to the ninja world!" Black Zetsu said confidently.

Seeing that Akaishi still didn't speak, Black Zetsu also fell silent for a moment.

"Continue," Akaishi said.

Black Zetsu: ————

You didn't even consider me Indra's son, did you? You just treated me like your family's servant, didn't you?

"Then—try to rescue Father. If that fails, then we'll think of another way—" Black Zetsu said, feigning innocence, "After all—the Rinnegan is incredibly rare; it's only appeared once in a thousand years!"

Seeing Akaishi's reaction, Black Zetsu decided not to tell him about the next steps of the "Tailed Beast Recovery Plan" and the "Eye of the Moon Plan".

Although if Akaishi believed him, he could use him to make up for the lack of combat power after Madara Uchiha was weakened, but—the mental state of this evil Uchiha brat in front of him made him a little uneasy, so he decided to deal with this situation first!

Therefore, Black Zetsu is currently emphasizing the importance of the "Rinnegan" to Akaishi, laying the groundwork for him to release the "Rinnegan petri dish" later.

"Isn't this plan too rigid? The more rigid the plan, the lower the margin for error!" Akaishi lectured Kuroze with conviction.

Black Zetsu: ————

Black Zetsu held back for a moment, then said with genuine grievance, "After all—this goal is really hard to achieve."

Does that mean it's rigid and has a low tolerance for error?

I haven't told you the whole plan yet!

Afterwards, the nine tailed beasts must be resealed back into the God Tree's shell, the Ten-Tails must be revived, and then someone must use the Ten-Tails' power to reactivate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, reclaiming the chakra of the ninja world back into their own body.

Only then can Kaguya be resurrected in this person!

The margin for error is just that low —

However, Akaishi shook his head and said, "Isn't your goal to save the ninja world and rebuild ninja sect?"

"N-No, that's right—" Black Zetsu became somewhat uneasy when he heard Akaishi ask this.

The reason why Indra's purpose is described as this, rather than "to save himself," is to better "fit the character's persona"!

Black Zetsu knew how many outrageous lies he had told, and in order to make people believe him, he had to try his best not to lie where he could, and not to make it seem out of place.

Black Zetsu has been doing this for over a thousand years, so of course he has experience.

And how arrogant was that little devil Indra?

After losing to Asura, he simply disappeared!

Even Ashura and the Sage of Six Paths couldn't find him after they went to look for him.

Of course, no one sealed him away, but—if he were really sealed away, he would just shut himself off inside the seal and wouldn’t even think about his descendants trying to save him!

Therefore, Black Zetsu made a slight detour here, only saying that he wanted to "inherit the true will of the Ninja Sect," which implies "rescuing Indra."

Who knows————

This is what caused all the trouble!

Red Stone shook his head and said, "Instead of searching for Indra, why not create one ourselves!"

Black Zetsu: ————

What is this guy saying?. Uchiha Katsuzetsu.jpg

"Since there are so many variables in the plan to rescue Ancestor Indra, why not think about becoming stronger yourself? Although you don't have the bloodline of the Ninja Clan, we do!" Akashi said righteously.

Black Zetsu: ? ? ?

"This—actually—although Father's body was sealed, his chakra has been reincarnating—" Black Zetsu wanted to emphasize that you shouldn't think you can talk nonsense just because Indra can't hit you!

Akaishi wasn't surprised to hear this, since the clan leader had told him long ago that once chakra reached a certain level, one could reincarnate continuously.

However, this is not a reincarnation at the soul level, but at the chakra level. Each reincarnation is a different person with a different soul. What is inherited is only the nature of the power, and there will be similarities in some of the purest will.

"Hmm? Then why didn't you succeed before?" Akashi frowned.

Black Zetsu: ————

"That's because—that evil Asura, whenever he discovers that Father has been reincarnated, he immediately reincarnates as well, ruining Father's grand plan!" Black Zetsu emphasized the practical difficulty of this matter.

"So you couldn't defeat Ashura's reincarnation every time?" Akashi frowned upon hearing this—what's wrong with this Indra? The first time could be attributed to Ashura currying favor with the old man and gaining an advantage, but judging from this result—he couldn't defeat him in any of the reincarnations?

This Indra is truly unworthy of the title Indra!

"From now on, you will assist me! Is that Uchiha Madara nearby?" Akaishi vaguely understood that Black Zetsu must want to use Uchiha Madara's "Rinnegan" to show up and say these things to him, so he immediately wanted to turn him to his side.

"This—actually, Madara Uchiha is also the reincarnation host of Father's chakra in this generation—this time he was able to awaken the Rinnegan, which is a completely different situation—" Black Zetsu had no choice but to tell Akaishi about this as well, and then comforted him, "This time it's almost done."

"Alright then, I'll show you whether he's the master of this Ninja Clan or I am!" Akashi said heartily.

Black Zetsu: ————

Black Zetsu felt like he had shot himself in the foot!

This evil Uchiha brat, though not very smart—

But it's sick!
